Hi NIrmal

BR_TRACE is an environment variable. I assumed your OS is windows.

Right Click on "My Computer"--->"Properties"Click on "Advanced" Tab----->"Enviromnet Variable"

Create a new environmet variable if BR_TRACE is not there.

For unix you need to use export command from the shell. export BR_TRACE=15

Check links below for further info

instead of setting it permanently, you can set BR_TRACE only at the time command execution,

higher the BR trace value mean more the logs it will generate,

whenever you run a BR* command, it creates a log in /oracleSID/sap**** like sapreorg, sapcheck or saparch.

BR_TRACE will just enabling more logging in the same file.

so, if you run brbackup offline, it will always write in file bxxxxxxx.aff in directory sapbackup. if you activate BR_TRACE it will also write more detailed logging info in the same file.

good luck.

Hello Nirmal,

please check sapnote #29321.

BR_TRACE is a environment variable. It depends on the OS and shell how you could set it .. for example

ksh> export BR_TRACE=8
csh> setenv BR_TRACE 8
